For anyone concerned about systematic sides

There are some pictures in this thread that are 1 month in and 2 months in. Small differences. I am going out of town next week and I plan on posting pictures then maybe.

Okay awesome, I saw your picture on the 3rd page which is why I was wondering if you have any newer ones.

[jlantern]

any before/after pictures? BTW I agree with clandestine I took creatine 2 years ago and immediately my hair seemed thinner after about a month good thing you stopped man

jlantern; I would be careful with Creatine.

It's known to cause hair loss.

This is exactly why I stopped and I think it may be linked to my sheds in some way. Time will tell

I dont think the Gyno was from RU. I upped my fin dosage to 1.25 EOD to 1.25 ED. Also I notice it flaires up when I take creatine and lift super heavy. its gone now. ill see if it comes back .. but its minor flair ups in 1 nipple (pre existing from roids)

Now why would you be concerned about "what you don't feel"? Why on earth?

Creating unnecessary anxieties there mate.

Yeah, don't mean to cause undo panic you are right. But with systemic absorption it should be considered. Typically we would have studies to lean on but not in this case. The more information/considerations we share on this forum the better.

[jlantern]

So you and StayThick are both getting Gyno sides from RU? That seems very surprising based on the research folks have cited. Concerning. If you are getting systemic absorption, you need to be concerned about what you don't feel as well.

Gyno is a bitch, I sometimes get it in 1 nipple.

I have been taking creatine in large amounts, im going to stop and see if things improve from that.

Today is my last 5% application. I will be lowering my dose to .25mg to see if I still experience minor sides.

5% is working, I can tell, but my eyes and nipple puffiness is very annoying. Not sure if red and dry eyes is a side effect, but I decided to try 25mg to gauge effects on my body.

This stuff definitely works and can cause minor sides in my opinion. RU is not side free, but in my opinion no where near extreme as Propecia.

Well this blows, are u playing it safe and seeing if you could eliminate the sides all together or are the sides worsening?

What do you mean by root lift?

When I started on Dr. Lee's ******* for the first time my hair responded very well and I had great regrowth for about a year. The first thing I noticed was that my hair seemed less "limp" that it did. I believe this was because the new growth was promoting more positive support for the follicle shaft.

I did go through a shed at that time as well so I think the kick-starting of the anagen phase pushed out some hairs in telogen but promoted the "root lift" in the hairs already in the anagen stage.

BTW, concerned about seeing more systemic absorption reports from the use of RU by Slick. The research show low incidence but reports here seem higher. I wonder if the PG is the contributor. I don't think it was used in the studies.

[jlantern]

StayThick, I thought you have been on RU for some time? One thing I have noticed in the past when a treatment has worked is "root lift". I got this when I started Fin way back when. Could be a signal that some of your hairs have gone into anagen phase. That would be great (could mean a shed to come though if they were in telogen phase). But you are right, it would not be possible to notice anything else that quickly.

Good luck. I start this week when my scale arrives, 25mg mixes with Lipogaine to start.
